FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread

[criptoevangelista]

The quality is far below what the Brazilian team was in the past, today we no longer have differentiated players like we used to, we only have good players and nothing more. Neymar could be one of the greats, but he chose to be a celebrity instead of a professional player, today he is over 30 years old, so the best phase is over. There's Vinicius JR, who I think may be more prominent in the future, but nothing compared to Ronaldo, Romário, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo and so many others.

Yes you are right and I agree with you. Brazil's best era is over. This is very sad because Brazil is famous for its many star players from the 70s to the 2000s. Many names of Brazilian players have become legends in the history of world football. But at the moment to be honest, I don't even know most of Brazil's current squad. Maybe I don't follow football news regularly, but currently only Vinicius Jr. in my opinion has the level of Brazilian players of old. Although Vini will be great but without the support of the other brazilian players I think it will be difficult for brazil to even try to progress from the group stages.

If Brazil passes the group stage it will be with great difficulty or if they fall into a group with weak teams...

I also don't know several players from the Brazilian team, and that means that if they were good enough we would naturally know them... The Brazilian team is very bad and has serious problems: in terms of skill and prominence, only Neymar (injured) and Vini Jr... but other than that there are no stars or players with good tactical consistency.

Even the new and younger players of Brazil are not in the good and they are far from the older players they had like Ronaldo and Ronaldinho. Maybe that's because they didn't pay attention to developing football in their country, otherwise, the young and talented players they had could make Brazil to have a much better performance. The best thing Berazil can do is to avoid sticking to traditions and try using non-Brazilian coaches in this county to help the younger players grow.

In recent years, some foreign coaches have worked in Brazil, some have had excellent results, like Abel Ferreira at Palmeiras and Jorge Jesus at Flamengo, maybe one day the CBF will open its eyes and decide to hire a good coach... they tried with Carlo Ancelotti, but no one in their right mind would trade Real Madrid for a horrible Brazilian team, he was right to deny the invitation...

In terms of coaches, Brazil has always been very weak, the only ones who had any prominence outside the country were Vanderlei Luxemburgo who coached Real Madrid and Luiz Felipe Scolari who coached the Portuguese national team and Chelsea, besides, only low-level coaches and without any highlight... this directly reflects on the quality of young players trained in Brazil, total decadence.

The Brazilian national team is blessed with a lot of talented players but the reason why they're not currently dominating world football is because of the kind of managers they've been parading in recent years. I was telling a football analyst last week that even the third XI of Brazilian national team can win the World Cup of properly managed and he couldn't agree more to what I said.
The current coach of the side Dorival Júnior is doing his best to bring back the national team of Brazil to it's original state but i don't think he posseses the best tactical strength to do that. It was strongly rumoured that Carlo Ancelotti was going to be the coach of the Brazil national team earlier this year but his contract extension at Real Madrid puts that rumor to bed. Hopefully, they'll get a manager who'll bring out the best from the players

[SATWAT]

Every year we have nearly 200+ players from the Brazil participate into different soccer leagues around the world which is really insane with no one having any doubt about their natural talent and skills which are helping them for ruling the world for the long time with things recently are having not good time for them, and they are facing issues which are not related to quality or performance they are having issues at the managerial level which needs to be fixed as soon as possible for the better future of soccer here in this region.
As mentioned above if they are able to have coach like Carlos Ancelotti this is surely going to work for them with he is having good experience and also capable of bringing good changes at any level which can bring good changes at their national level.

I am very sad about the current state of the Brazilian squad. I mean they are a country with great talent in football. In the past, there was no Brazilian national team player who was not known to the world. Even their reserve players were stars in their time. Some say this happens because football has now become modern football where collective play takes priority over individual skill. Actually, this makes sense to me. But I think that the Brazilian squad in the past could definitely play collectively if they had a good coach. I think I agree with you that it is time for Brazil to use a non-Brazilian coach who understands modern football better. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Actually Brazil national team squad not on the top level after losing many top players, I see there are most of weakness on defense position exactly they have strong with attacking line by having Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo but I don't see who will be center forward for Brazil. Its difference qualities Brazil players last several season and right now, most of position filled by top players and currently difficult how to see the same level behind most of Brazil players not playing for the top European teams.
Brazil has announced their squad for Copa America and would be this composition for World Cup 2026 indeed has two years left, how the higher achievement of Copa America will be the winner or Brazil get difficult in this tournament?

[Patrol69]

I believe that this decline is not just in Brazil, it is a problem on a global scale, in the past you would see children playing football in the street, today children only worry about their cell phones...

I'm pretty sure FIFA will try to push countries to improve their football academy if the World Cup becomes a boring thing to watch. They don't want to lose a great source of money. That being said, it doesn't necessarily mean they will help countries who are popular with their football heritage directly. On the other hand, my national football team has become better in the last few years or so, while the national league quality is still not great. Qualifying for the World Cup is still a long-term target though.

But we clearly notice that every year very few matches are held which are organized by FIFA but most of the players are busy with club level games apart from the national team games. It is very likely that when the World Cup comes or when the Copa America or the Euro comes, there is a lot of talk about the national team games, but outside of these tournaments, there is no talk about the national team games. It is possible that what you fear here is that FIFA may lose their popularity due to not playing regularly or people may forget about national team games. If national team games are not organized regularly then even when there are big tournaments it will be seen that people are not showing much interest in these big tournaments. FIFA should think about these issues so that their financial situation does not improve and they do not lose their popularity.

You are maybe right about some non-Brazlian coaches working with Brazlian teams in this league but I'm not talking about the Brazlian team, I'm talking about their national team. Because I'm sure they need to have a better coach working in Brazil. Someone like Carlo Ancelotti who has good experience and knowledge and Ancelotti could help Brazil in the next World Cup. I can say I'm sure that having Carlo Ancelotti is the team, could definitely help Brazil to improve the team and they could have a much better performance in the 2026 World Cup.

Brazil has stayed where they were three decades ago, with hardly any improvement. On the other hand, the European and Asian teams are racing ahead. Even now, hardly anyone among the national squad members play their football in Brazil. The national league is in poor shape and this has stinted the emergence of younger players. It is not even guaranteed that Brazil would qualify for the 2026 World Cup. They have performed poorly in the CONMEBOL qualifiers so far.

I understand you very well mate. I can even call Brazil like the greatest talents are born there. Despite having so many talented players they somehow manage to mess up things.    But yeah, the main problem here is actually playing as a team rather than individually. Because this is the point football has reached these days.

In the past we all know how individual skills make difference. It is a great joy to watch for us also but football is no longer like that.

This is where Brazil are lacking. I hope Dorival Júnior is aware of the problem and manages to fix that.

Thank you very much for your understanding, Bro. Yes, football in the past was very interesting to watch when a star player displayed extraordinary individual skills. And Brazil, with its many football talents, could become the center of world football at that time because many of its players had individual skills. But in this era, every club and national team needs players who can play collectively. Football is still beautiful to watch but in a different way. Players are required to really master the basics of football very well and this will be very useful for modern football.

Having many football talents is not enough. At least this won't be enough in the current situation of the world when the other teams invest much more to sue their younger talents by having much better coaches and this can give them a good advantage while Brazil can't get progress and they just use the traditional way to use the Brazila coaches without considering their knowledge and this can damage the team.
Brazil was the best team in the world and won the World Cup for many times but with the current performance of Brazil, they can not have any chance in the 2026 World Cup.

Yoiu are not getting the point. I think when you are a grown up football star, you either die or. thrive at such a tournament. If you are a guy like Ronaldo, what chances do you have? You score the goal, or you are messed up. It is either the one of the two.

The interesting part about players like Ronaldo is that he is willing to take on the challenge. I respect him for that. If he scores, he stays. But it can also lead to gameplay against the team. Well see.

Ever since people have known about the game of football and ever since people have been playing football, football has been very popular and people have been enjoying the game of football ever since. Brazil is a successful team in football and Brazil has a huge number of football fans worldwide. Earlier when football world cup was held, people used to watch a lot of football matches and that is still the case. Brazil has won the highest number of World Cup trophies ever. Just like when a child is born in other countries, he dreams of becoming a doctor or an engineer, in Brazil, if a child is born with only one dream, he will grow up to be a footballer, that is, it is natural that the best performance in football will be obtained from those whose blood is mixed with football.

I don't know if Dorival Junior has the capacity to resolve this, he was once coach of the team I support, so I know him very well, tactical skills are not his strong point... he's more of a Luiz Felipe Scolari type, like a big dad, conciliator and is famous for creating a good working environment... He is not the best strategist, despite being an excellent coach... It's always good to remember that he wasn't the first option for the position.

I agree with you. Modern football really needs a genius coach like Pep Guardiola, Alonso or Ancelotti. Including other top world coaches. What is needed in modern football is mastery of basic football skills to the highest level. The coach must be able to understand and analyze the opponent and then find weaknesses and try to expose them to score goals. Coaches must also be able to truly understand the players and their potential. I think Brazil really needs to revolutionize their football. No one doubts Brazil's talent every year but as you said, without a collective game Brazil will find it difficult to perform well in the 2026 world cup.

Coach as well as athletes, they go hand in hand to attain success in this sports. Both parties should understand each other in order to play harmoniously inside the field. Now, there are several known "genius" coaches but if the team is not ready to be handled by such genius coach, they won't achieve the performance that they want in the arena. How many related movies have we watched already that attitude inside the field is quite big factor in achieving success for both sides? So we can say, athletes should also understood the importance of their role and how they connect with their coach to carry out an impressive performance inside the field.

Brazil was the best team in the world and won the World Cup for many times but with the current performance of Brazil, they can not have any chance in the 2026 World Cup.

Talented players who are still of productive age are one form of effort to make the team stronger, but I agree that the figure of coach can also influence everything.
A really great coach who is able to read and anticipate the opponent's game well can definitely build team with good strength and cohesion when competing in competition.
But if the coach is unable to follow the opponent game and is just monotonous then no matter how good the players he has will never be useful or will only be useless and easy for the other team to beat.
So far, the problems and obstacles experienced by Brazil have always been related to the coach, for the players, I admit that they have lot of great potential in young players, but all of this has not been able to bring them to win the world.
Brazil peak era of glory has long since disappeared and this should be the right time to get things back to the way they used to be, it just that the development of football there is not able to be so rapid at the moment.

He is not the best strategist, despite being an excellent coach... It's always good to remember that he wasn't the first option for the position.

I'm trying to find a little information about Dorival Junior. Because honestly I don't know him. Based on Wikipedia, I see that Dorival Junior only trains Brazilian teams or teams in South America. But I'm sure it's the Brazilian teams, CMIIW. If he is like Luiz Felipe Scolari I think it means he is an old style coach. Creating a good environment in a team is something good but modern football really requires tactical skills. Coaches must be able to analyze each match, expose the opponent's weaknesses and create effective tactics.

Modern players do not have good enough individual skills, but modern players are required to be able to implement the coach's tactics on the field. I can't have any expectations about Brazil's chances at the 2026 world cup but I hope that Dorival Junior can make Brazil better than the previous world cup in Qatar.
